It is simply a pride to join this group. I didn't know that the group of this library exists in the facebook. I had first used this library one year back. From that day, I am continuously using this library. For a student like me who is from one of the poorest countries on earth where there are not enough libraries and even the existing libraries do not have enough literature, it is something wonderful. Thank to those people who created it.- Facebook fan from Nepal

Dear Biodiversity Heritage Library: I am in awe of your work. Thank you so much. As an illustrator who scans a lot of my work, I know how very onerous the task is. Many thanks!
